Irish Priest and the Texas Frontiersman's Faith
In a 1832 letter to Stephen F. Austin Strap Buckner credits an Irish Dominican priest Michael Muldoon with shaping the Protestant colonists in Texas. Muldoon aided settlers amid Mexican laws requiring Catholic marriage and backed colonists during Anahuac tensions. He later helped free William H. Wharton and supported Austin during Mexico City detention, earning enduring Texas gratitude.
